Alpine IVA-D300R

Advantages: Best sound quality in its price range
Disadvantages: Ugly as sin

...a little. From this you get a gorgeous reproduction with some hard hitting bass that sounds great. I'd be tempted to suggest its easy to get confused with the alpine units, and if you do fiddle with the set up it is very difficult to get a great sound, but if you are a complete music freak on a budget then its the unit for you. The only thing i found that made me change was the fact that it couldn't handle a 7v input through the aux in and the head unit fried :( I really miss the alpine, but have since moved on to much more expensive, better things, though to be fair value for money... the alpine was a quater the price what i got now and the difference was never worth that amount of money.

Advantages: Power
Disadvantages: Price

...As a keen purchaser of Alpine products in the past it is fair to say they have a repretation in the industry. And when it comes to in car audio it is hardvto beat them. This product provides clarity that you would expect as well as a few extras which rivilys would find hard to beat. Its not cheap but then what is and would you buy it if it was no. It the quality you expect from a brand that provides knowledge and well made products as expected.This amp kicks asre and will be seen in many a tesco park park in the future with out a doubt.

Advantages: It is very highly powered, and can handle anything
Disadvantages: i could not get it to work whilst the ignition was off
